Doing Cultural Theory teaches more than just the basics of cultural theory. It unpacks its complexities with real-life examples, and shows readers how to link theory and practice. This book:
*Offers accessible introductions to how cultural studies has engaged with key theories in structuralism, poststructuralism and postmodernism,
*Teaches straightforward ways of practising these theories so students learn to think for themselves,
*Uses ′practice′ boxes to show students how to apply cultural theory in the real world,
*Guides students through the literature with carefully selected further reading recommendation,
Other textbooks only show how others have analyzed and interpreted the world. Doing Cultural Theory takes it a step further and teaches students step-by-step how to do cultural theory for themselves.
